About The Little Museum of Dublin
To look into the glorious history of Ireland there cannot be a better place than The Little Museum of Dublin. Housed in the 18th-century Georgian townhouse, the museum is called a 'people's museum' like most of the collection's artifacts were loaned or donated by the citizens of Dublin. The museum makes every tiny little effort to make a visitor's experience a merry one. Where one room looks like a pub the other looks like a living room with a blast of antiquities from the past. The three-story building is full of quirky artifacts, paintings, sketches, postcards, and other memories from the 20th century.
